No you fuckin' liberal dumbass

Nope. You aren't alone in that thought

 

[unclehobart]

Heh, remember when this used to be America?

Which America would that be?

The America of lynchings? The America of the Moral Majority? The America of the PMRC? The America of Watts? The America of rigged elections?

I know there were some relatively easier social times at certain points in recent American history... but there has never really been a golden era of freedom.

Now that's a comment I would expect out of a member of the air farce.

I'm sorry. I forgot the Flyboys in blue jumpsuits need pictographs

Our 'zipper-suited sun gods' wear green or tan. The navy wears blue jumpsuits. Must be to hide in the ocean when they crash their planes in the drink.

 

[tonksy]

Our flyers wore olive jumpsuits...wait, except for the flight surgeons and the blue angels who wore blue.

I forgot about the Medevac people...and the Thunderbirds...Guess it really is lowest bid on a government contract...
